Write your own client that uses the copy interface to load a file from wherever and send it to the server. Or just use the one built in to psql, as Jasen suggested. -- Bill Moran wmo...@potentialtech.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

[GENERAL] run COPY as user other than postgres

You should use \copy if you're using psql. That will run on the client side, as the user running psql. -Ryan Kelly -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
